Agencies established under the remit of my Department are required to comply with my Department's Frameworks for Corporate and Financial Governance. The two Frameworks (one for regulatory bodies under the aegis of my Department and one for the agencies funded by my Department) are supplementary to statutory requirements and to Government approved guidelines including the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies.
All Agencies meet their legal and financial obligations with regard to control, compliance and internal risk processes linked to their requirements to publish Audited Accounts. Broader agency best practice relating to non-statutory governance provisions are in place to varying but increasingly improved standards. Officials of my Department ensure that the Frameworks for health sector agencies is adhered to by monitoring progress on an ongoing basis.

Question 577: To ask the Minister for Health his views on whether there is a credibility deficit due to the fact that some former senior banking officials are sitting on health-related boards, institutions and hospitals in an oversight role; and the governance criteria needed for persons sitting on these boards.

Agencies established under the remit of my Department are required to comply with my Department's Frameworks for Corporate and Financial Governance. The two Frameworks (one for regulatory bodies under the aegis of my Department and one for the agencies funded by my Department) are supplementary to statutory requirements and to Government approved guidelines including the Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies.
All Agencies meet their legal and financial obligations with regard to control, compliance and internal risk processes linked to their requirements to publish Audited Accounts. Broader agency best practice relating to non-statutory governance provisions are in place to varying but increasingly improved standards. Officials of my Department ensure that the Frameworks for health sector agencies is adhered to by monitoring progress on an ongoing basis.
